I like dog gear - actually I LOVE dog gear.  I've been asked many times where a collar or harness or coat comes from that I thought I'd just put everything on this page.  Equipment listed on this page are things that I've either had personal experience with or have had enough good reviews that I'm planning on getting it in the future.

 

Photography

• Tailwagger Dog Photography - I love, love, love the pictures from them.  They are great with the dogs and the pictures are amazing.

 

Collars

• Lupine Collars - my dog's everyday collars

• Paco Collars - leather collars

• California Collar Company - leather collars

• Sexy Beast Collars - leather collars

• Fairy Tail Collars - high quality ribbon collars

• Collar Mania - I haven't had the opportunity to purchase a collar from here yet, but I have at least 6 on my wish list.

• Agility leash - this is a fleece martingale with the leash attached.  Works perfectly for agility.

 

Collar Tags

• Boomerang Tags - flat collar tags, since I HATE dangly tag noises

• Fetching Tags - stylish custom tags

 

Harnesses

• Perfect Fit Harness - this is a modular fleece lined harness to create the perfect fit.  I am picky with which harnesses I like on dogs, especially puppies and this harness will not impede natural movement when the leash is attached to the clip in the back.

• Walkezz Fleece-lined Harness - this is what I use for the dogs when I'm running or biking.  Its fully lined with fleece, so there is no fur loss or sore where the harness rubs.

 

Walking at Night

• Nite Ize Clip On LED Light - clip on lights that are very bright.  Comes in various colors so you can color coordinate!

 

Toys

• Kong - best dog toys ever.  Great for stuffing with wet food and freezing.

• GoughNuts - virtually indestructible rubber toys

• Planet Dog - high quality rubber toys

• Zogoflex - tough rubber toys in fun shapes

• Buster Cube - a great food puzzle toy

• Tuffie Toys - stuffed animals for heavy chewers

 

Chew Toys

• Nylabones - use with caution!  These can be used to for pups and young dogs to prevent your dog from chewing on your table leg, but as you dog gets older, there is a possibility that chewing on a Nylabone can chip or fracture teeth.  My vet does not recommend Nylabones for dogs over the age of three.

 

Cold Weather

• Chilly Dog Coats - from fleece coats for the fall days to heavy duty winter coats, this company makes fantastic products.

• Hurtta - a wide assortment of coats

 

Exercise Equipment

• Walky Dog Bike Leash - this is the attachment that I use for the bike to exercise the dogs.

 

Working Dog Gear

• All K9

• Active Dogs

• Hallmark K9

• High in Trial Canine Equipment

• Elite K9

• Signature K9

 

Treats

• I wrote a whole page on my favorite treats.  Check it out here.

 

For Anxiety

• DAP - also called Adaptil or Comfort Zone.  Synthetic copy of a naturally occurring pheromone that can help calm dogs.  Comes in a spray, collar or diffuser.

• Thundershirt - a great tool for anxiety.

• Calming Cap - a tool to reduce visual stimulus, which helps to reduce anxiety.

• Through a Dog's Ear - music designed to calm dogs.
